Mechanical Properties and Functions of Elastin: An Overview

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Human tissues must be elastic, much like other materials that work under continuous loads without losing functionality. The elasticity of tissues is provided by elastin, a unique protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of mammals.

Bioactive recombinant human elastin gel for reconstructing elastic fibers and rejuvenating endogenously aged skin

open access: yesMaterials Today Bio
Endogenous skin aging results in oxidative stress and degradation of elastic fibers, leading to reduced skin elasticity and dermal laxity. Current treatments rarely target elastic fiber regeneration.

Elastin genetic point mutation and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020
Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors ...
